New in Theaters for December

A lot of movies are premiering in December, but only a few of them interest me. This is why they might be worth watching... or avoiding.

WATCHING

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (December 15, 2017)
Being Star Wars alone is a draw. I thought I'd get tired of the yearly Star Wars release, but that hasn't happened yet. On top of that it's directed by Rian Johnson, who just got the okay to create his own Star Wars spin off trailer.

Phantom Thread (December 29, 2017)  
Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis last joined forces to bring us There Will Be Blood. I've seen all his feature films and don't intend to stop.

The Disaster Artist (December 1, 2017)
The Room is considered one of the worst movies of all time, but delving into what went on behind the scenes sounds like a great idea. I think James Franco can bring this one home.


Downsizing (December 22, 2017)  
In a world where you can be shrunk to an inch tall... This has the trappings to be a great social commentary.

AVOIDING

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (December 22, 2017)
Not even "The Rock" can save this. Why does this need to be made? Why is it a video game?

Just Getting Started (December 8, 2017)
How many retiree themed movies is Morgan Freeman going to do? Is he typecast or has he just found a well paying gig?

Pitch Perfect 3 (December 22, 2017)
I've never had an interesting seeing these movies, and this is no exception. There's no way this isn't a cash grab.
